Fusion with thrash/death metal guitar sound, featuring ex. Cynic/Obscura, Dream Theater/Planet X, Allan Holdsworth band & Special Providence members. NEW ALBUM IS COMING.
After recording many metal albums, I decided to change the concept for my upcoming release. In 2025, I’m working on my fourth solo album, PLAN(e)T-BASED. The foundations of the songs were written earlier, between 2021 and 2023, and I’ve been developing them continuously over the past few years.
Musically, the concept differs from my previous album. While Global Warning was a mixture of electronic music genres—such as drum and bass—and modern fusion music elements, the new album moves toward progressive/fusion music, featuring a detuned 8-string thrash/death metal guitar sound.
The album features bassists Anthony Crawford (Allan Holdsworth band, Virgil Donati band), Péter Erdei, Roland Rácz, Péter Papesch, and Robin Zielhorst (ex-Cynic, Exivious; currently Obscura) & guitarist Márton Kertész (Special Providence, Sear Bliss, Rivers Ablaze), Marius Pop, and Attila Kovács (ex-Sear Bliss, Superbutt; currently Bong-Ra and The Answer Lies in the Black Void).
The album also includes a special guest appearance by Planet X’s Derek Sherinian on keyboards.
Expected release: late 2026.
______________________________
As the upcoming album is once again the result of a long creative process, I’ll be sharing a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes content both before and after its release — here and on my social media — so it’s worth checking back from time to time.
This will include details about the songwriting process, rhythmic foundations, influences (bands, drummers, and musicians) behind each composition, drum and video recordings, and acknowledgements of the contributing musicians — who played on which track and why I chose them for that particular song. I’ll also share insights into the mixing and mastering process, aspects of the video editing, the conceptual message of the album, as well as the artwork and booklet design.
I find it important to establish an honest tone for my solo albums. With this in mind, I aimed to choose song titles — including the album title — that are realistic rather than sonorous or artistic. Every song title has its own story, which I’ll detail in the booklet. As with my previous albums, this release contains only instrumental pieces, without lyrics. I worked with earthly themes instead of fantasy creations.
Also, in 2025, a new progressive metal/grunge supergroup called Hopeländic was formed, in which I play alongside some outstanding Hungarian musicians. Further details can be found in the article on grungery.hu: https://grungery.hu/hopelandic-uj-grunge-prog-szupergrupp-jon-zselenszkyvel-a-mikrofonnal/ (the article’s language is Hungarian). At the end of 2025, we are working on the final song for our debut album. We aim to reach a worldwide audience, so the lyrics will be in English.
With Hopeländic, we’ll release our first videos in the spring of 2026, and our debut album is scheduled for the end of 2026.
In October 2025, I recorded the drums for the upcoming album of the Hungarian post-black metal band October Silence. This is another band/project of guitarist Márton Kertész (Rivers Ablaze, Sear Bliss, Special Providence). More details coming…
We closed the 2025 concert season with Anima Sound System with a superb show at the A38 Ship in Budapest. We had dozens of great gigs again this year. Looking forward to the next season!
